DaisypathAnniversary Years Ticker

Wednesday, January 30, 2008


Just an update- After our hawaii trip, life got busy again. Ross is back in school. He is taking 9 credits I think and then is still working full time. And I am working 12 hour night shifts now which I like- not as stressful so far because the night time quiets down a bit and I feel like I have more time to get everything done. But I am still adjusting to the sleep schedule. So feel free to call me at 3 am- I will most likely be up. I am trying to work out a system so I can still sleep well at night when I am off. I do feel like I have a lot more free time though. I finally finished all of the Harry Potter books. We have been out looking at cars since I know mine won't last forever- but it has given me a good 11 years. And I finally feel like being married is normal now- although the name change is still wierd. So we are both doing well. I am trying to do a better job of keeping up with people- I just never have been much of a computer person. That is Ross' expertise but I can't seem to get him interested in posting on the blog. He set up a planted aquarium in the kitchen and every few days I see new fish that he has added. I am glad that it makes him happy.

Hawaii Honeymoon




Ross and I went to Hawaii for our belated honeymoon during the first 10 days of January. I wanted to wait until winter time when it was cold here- never have liked winter. And I wanted to see whales. We stayed on Maui for the first 5 days of the trip. We stayed in South Kihei right across from the beach and we had a great view from our balcony. We checked out the different popular beaches and did lots of snorkeling. We also took a trip out to Molokini because Ross was hesitant about snorkeling in the ocean and I wanted him to have a good beginning experience. He loved it and after that he wanted to go snorkeling all the time. We saw lots of whales while on Maui but I was disappointed because I had not yet seen a whale breach. So then we went to Kauai for 4 days. We stayed in Poipu which was paradise to me. Beautiful and sunny with great beaches. I would love to live there someday. We had been so busy sightseeing on maui so it was fun to just relax at the beach most of our time there. We did take one boat trip- it was so cool because we saw lots of whales jumping up out of the water and playing. And two whales saw right in front of our boat, just a few feet away. And a pod of dolphins also swam along with our boat. It was so much fun. I love hawaii and I was so glad to have Ross with me to share it with this time.
